  Hi there,

  I (stupidly) deleted my blog URL, not realising the URL would be come unavailable once removing the blog. I wanted to clear the blog and start fresh, and really should have double checked what the site said before removing the URL all together. Is there anyway I can recover or retrieve the URL moflaherty.wordpress.com which I just made unavailable?

  Many thanks!
  Megan

  Deleted urls are gone for at least two years due to privacy reasons. They may not be available even after two years. But you can always create a new site with new address for free, possibly using a variant of your deleted address.

  You can empty just your site content using these instructions: https://en.support.wordpress.com/empty-site/
